4 Impact of High Sensitivity Troponins of Discharge Rates of Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department With Chest Pain

High sensitivity troponins have recently been introduced into clinical care in the US. Data from outside the US shows that more patients can be safely discharged from the ED. There have been no prior studies of the clinical impact of transition to high sensitivity troponin in the US. Our hypothesis was that transitioning from a 4th generation to a 5th generation high sensitivity troponin assay would increase the ED discharge rate and shorten ED length of stay for admitted patients.
